Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 393 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many customers reported significant issues with their orders, frequently receiving incomplete shipments with missing or incorrect items. People also experienced extremely long delivery times, often far exceeding advertised next-day services, with some orders never arriving at all. Reviewers consistently highlighted a severe lack of communication, noting that emails went unanswered and phone numbers were unresponsive or disconnected, making it impossible to resolve issues. However, some customers also mentioned receiving their orders, sometimes even with fast shipment and correct, safely packaged items, though this was a less common experience.

What an absolutely appalling company. They send half your order, and when you contact them to query it, they pretend to re-send out the second half of your order. Two weeks later nothing and now r... See more

No order after almost 2 months of waiting, 2 fake tracking links for Royal Mail, Clearpay do not cover this and can’t help. Avoid at all costs! Shocking absolute scam wish I’d checked reviews before ordering.

Placed an order a month ago and still not received it and after 10+ emails they finally replied and told me it will be dispatched again in 2 day working days. It has since been over a week and yet again ignoring all my emails.

AVOID! Late, Missing items

Crap! Ordered some snacks for superbowl. Ordered on Wednesday night, paid 5.99 for next day delivery, presuming this would mean they would arrive Friday as ordered after 3pm cutoff. No tracking given. Friday came, nothing. Saturday, nothing. Saw the reviews for them after this, and lost hope. Went to Sainsbury's instead. Luckily paid through paypal. So got onto them and they instanly refunded me there and then, which is pretty telling. They eventually arrived on Tuesday, and items were missing and some were out of date. I didnt get the 5.99 back for next day delivery, so im keeping my out of date snacks. Also tried to contact them via their website form page and through email, but no reply after 5 days.
I've never seen so many 1 star reviews for anyone.

Terrible company, terrible service, AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Honestly what a shambles

Honestly what a shambles, 2 weeks it has taken for my order to arrive, only for half the order to be missing.. this is after emails and phone calls then being told they have made a fresh order, this is after receiving a dispatch order but with no tracking number for my first order, will be contacting the bank for a refund asap,

The worst company

The worst company I’ve had the displeasure of dealing with. Ordered 4 items for Christmas presents, 2 arrived, 1 item wasn’t what I ordered at all and the other went out of date within days of receiving meaning it was useless as a gift anyway. Sent numerous emails, no reply. Disputed with clearpay who disappointly sided with the company as they provided tracking details. Thankfully Monzo refunded the money eventually after disputing with them. This company is such a scam and I wish I’d looked into before buying like I normally would. It’s a shame they’re continuing to take peoples hard earned money and clearpay are allowing them to use their platform to do it.

Disappointing experience

I wish I could give them a lower rating. You pay for 48 hour delivery and are still waiting over a week later. No response was received off the back of my email and when the package did arrive an item was missing. I have emailed for a refund of the missing item and the delivery fee but I don’t anticipate any response. Please don’t waste your time with this company.

An absolutely terrible service.

An absolutely terrible service.
Wrong items sent, missing items sent.
Claims of "Dispatched next day if ordered before 3pm" are false. I had an email from them saying it had been despatched, got the tracking details 5 days later confirming it hadn't been despatched when they said.
I've asked for a refund of the incorrect items but I'm not holding my breath.

Absolutely terrible company

Absolutely terrible company. “Next day delivery” took two and a half weeks. Refused to respond to my emails. Requested a cancellation and return two weeks after order as it was not sent out to me. The day after my refund request they sent it out, and parts of my order missing. Avoid avoid avoid!!!

Awful experience

Awful experience - they don't even respond to emails and you cannot reach them any other way. Items were incredibly late despite gauranteed xmas delivery time, and when recieved several items were missing and damaged. still can't sort out a return/refund as they don't even acknowledge you!

This is a fraudulent company

This is a fraudulent company, in my opinion. CLaimed order was shipped but no record of it, cannot get any response in three months of attempting contact. You are throwing money away by spending it here.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Absolutely appalling service.
Paid in full, received half the order, invoice has 2 items crossed out but no apology, no offer of refund.
No reply to emails.
I dont often write negative reviews but this customer service is appalling.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
Wish I had seen the reviews b4!
